Guitar Workshop, Sacramento CA

I stopped here on tour for a very quick and easy repair on my guitar. I didn’t catch the owners name but he helped quickly and inexpensively. Rocked the gig thanks to him. Love the guitar Esus chord you hear when you open the door. Cheers!

Editing my post after my last experience there. He refuses to use lemon oil, so my guitar smells like a dead fish again. I had him paint the body cavities with conductive paint and it was just really bad work. There was zero prep work done, spots that just weren't bothered to be painted and the paint is already flaking off after a few months. Not to mention he just straight up missed huge spots in the pickup cavity. Just seems like lazy work. There was a lot of damage to the exterior paint as well. After complaining to him, he buffed out a few spots but other spots, like where the masking tape left a noticeable indent in the paint he basically told me there was nothing he could do and blamed it on the manufacturer for not using better paint. He's delusional. Instead of allowing him to further butcher my guitar, I took it back and won't let him touch another one of my guitars.

I think Dave is good for setups and electronics but I don't think I'm bringing my guitars back to him after this and I would consider what I've said and look elsewhere for a competent luthier.

I had a fret leveling done on my strat. The work was finished before the quoted time frame and it was decent work. Frets were a little flat but it played okay. I recommend this shop for guitar work. Only negative was the linseed oil used on the fretboard. It smells like dead fish. Now I know to specify he use lemon oil next time.

I visited the place for notebook and picks for mandolin. I like the customer service and I am very happy with my stuff that I got from this company. I really recommend this is a great place to shop!
